When our own need us,
we show up.
Built by first responders, for first responders. When a family that has spent a lifetime answering the call needs their people, we stand beside them.

Canal Fulton showed up.
Jarod and Mikaila are firefighter/paramedics, close friends, and part of a community that has always shown up for others. When their family needed support, first responders, local businesses, and neighbors answered.
Thank you to everyone who has donated, volunteered, bought a shirt, shared the event, or delivered a meal—and to everyone joining us today to stand with the Hare family.
100+ shirts sold. $1,500+ raised.
More than $1,500 has been raised through shirt sales alone, with every dollar going directly to the Hare family.
Every shirt represents someone choosing to stand with Jarod, Mikaila, and their family.
$17,000+ raised through Meal Train.
More than $17,000 has been given directly through Meal Train to help Jarod, Mikaila, and their family in the days and weeks ahead.
This is what it looks like when a community refuses to let one of its own stand alone.
A shirt became a show of support.
More than 100 people have already chosen to wear their support for Jarod, Mikaila, and their family—turning one shirt into more than $1,500 in direct help.
The moments are coming.
Event photos and final impact will be added after Hare Strong on August 31. Check back to see how Canal Fulton came together for the Hare family.
One community. All in.
Today, Canal Street becomes more than an event location. It becomes a visible reminder that when one of our own is hurting, this community does not watch from the sidelines.
Families, first responders, local businesses, entertainers, vendors, and neighbors are coming together through dinner, raffles, music, shirt sales, and Pass the Boot support.
Hare Strong: Canal Comes Together
August 31, 2026 · 5:30–8:30 PM
Canal Street · Canal Fulton, Ohio
Canal Fulton came together.
On August 31, neighbors, first responders, local businesses, volunteers, and friends filled Canal Street with one message for the Hare family: you will not face this alone.
The final number tells only part of the story. The greater impact was a family seeing an entire community standing beside them—and knowing that support would continue after the street reopened.
This is what community looks like.
A crowded room. A quiet check-in. A fundraiser shared. A meal delivered. A family reminded that the people they have served are standing beside them.
Families we’ve stood with.
This work is not a one-night promise. From the Hare family to the Albert family and future families we have not met yet, Frontline Stands Together exists to ensure support does not disappear when an event ends.
Jarod & Mikaila Hare
